Biggest opportunity: Swap “woocommerce add to cart” for “labels”. “woocommerce add to cart” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #11. “labels” sits at #7 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

of downloads still active
At least 5K of 112.9K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,176 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other eCommerce plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 3 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

What to do about it
- Swap “woocommerce add to cart” for “labels”. “woocommerce add to cart” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #11. “labels” sits at #7 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- One page off on “woocommerce add to cart”. #11 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

Thank you soc much guys, this works perfectly fine for me, I am using Storefront btw. So much easier than tinkering with the functions file. Thank you Louise 🙂

Nothing else needed. Does EXACTLY what it says it does. That’s what I like in a plugin and deserves 5 stars
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Rynald0s6.4y ago
Updated for WooCommerce v4.2.0 and working! Added support for variable subscriptions, too.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ syhussaini6.4y ago
It works as advertised and is extremely easy to use. Must have for customizing text especially if you do not want to fiddle with the code.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Ethan51507.5y ago
This WOULD be cool except it also changes the button on the Related Products below the main product… deal killer 🙁
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Back to Front7.5y ago
I added this plugin after some custom functions got deprecated by woocommerce update. Would be much cool if could change ‘Add to Cart’ depending if something is is Virtual / Downloadable or by Product Category – These are the distinctions that would really make the site seem more human friendly.

I needed to change the button text to ‘Buy on Amazon’ for External products in the Elementor Products widget. Worked great!@
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Alexandre Gaeta8.0y ago
Change even out of stock button (Read More) to BUY… It would be great if could change Out of stock button text, but it seems it can´t be done with this.
